Letter from the Chairman of the Board regarding BritCham's Survey

Dear Fellow Members,

I hope you are all well and paying heed to all sensible precautions to protect yourselves and Latvia from the spread of COVID-19.

Linked to this message is a small survey and – please- do not groan and immediately hit the ‘delete’ key but open it up and take it. It should, literally, take you no longer than 5 minutes and it will be of great use to Renāte and the Board as we endeavour to determine how we can bring value to you – our cherished members – during this time of lockdown. The primary subject of the survey is the support being provided by the Government but there are a couple of questions at the end which are of a more general nature and I ask you specially to give some thought to these.

No more for now. I always feel that the written equivalent of “stand up, speak up and shut up” is the best policy.
